Our dealership has their own body shop and are pretty competitive.

 

fastNYsix Safelite stopped manufacturing auto glass a few years ago. Now they will install any windshield you request. GM does not manufacture windshields. My '07 oem windshield is Jap owned manufacturer (pilkington). Most dealerships will just call in a glass replacement specialist+markup the price/cost to the customer. Do some research on recommended replacement glass, many manufacturer's to chose from pgw, xinyi, fuyao, carlex, pilkington,+more....

Here's a good list to choose from: OEM After Market Windshield Manufacturers

 

thanks, my current windshield is a dot 46 made in Mexico.

 

Cristales Inastillables (Vitro)

Car Windshields – DOT Number Database

 

The one the local place put in mine is marked PGW DOT 43. PGW is Pittsburgh Glass Works. PGW is fairly well known but that link above states DOT 43 is PPG out of France. Maybe PPG contracts Pittsburgh Glass Works to make windshields??

 

Yes, it's hard to keep up, many changes since nafta. PPG from the link I posted above:

PPG - Pittsburgh Plate Glass. PPG Started out in 1883 and had been designing, improving and manufacturing automotive windshields since they were invented. PPG's global presence enabled them to build a history of supplying quality automotive auto glass and for both OEM and replacement markets to the top car companies in the world. In August of 2008, PPG sold 60% of its auto glass business to a New York private equity group called Kohlberg & Co. LLC. PPG Industries Inc. automotive glass business was renamed to PGW, Pittsburgh Glass Works.

PGW - Pittsburgh Glass Works. In August of 2008 a New York private equity group called Kholberg & Co. LLC purchased a 60% majority stake of PPG’s auto glass business. At this point PPG’s automotive glass business was renamed to PGW, Pittsburgh Glass Works. In May of 2009 PGW entered into a partnership with Daimler AG to supply automotive glass to the German vehicle manufacturer. Under the new, multi-year contract, PGW became the primary windshield, door and rear window supplier for Mercedes-Benz cars and sport utility vehicles.

LKQ Corporation - In April of 2016 LKQ Corperation who is a provider of alternative and specialty parts to repair and accessorize automobiles and other vehicles purchased PGW and sold it 11 months later to Vitro.

Vitro - In March of 2017 Vitro, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: VITROA), a leading North American glass producer headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico anounced they had acquired Pittsburgh Glass Works’ (PGW) automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) glass business from LKQ Corporation.

 

Btw, my original pilkington windshield was manufactured in a toledo O-H-I-O plant.
I just checked the dot on my wife's 2020 GMC, (46) CRISTALES INASTILLABLES, XALOSTOC EDO, MEXICO.

 

Just got a cash price of 325 for pilkington, probably made in Canada.

 

Did you contact GM? Interested to know what the current dot number on the replacement windshield?
GMPG shows 15102299 replaced by 25913255.

 

That’s a good price. If my local dealer could come close to that.
